Kasto Ø 550 MM Band Saw

About this machine

This Kasto Ø 550 MM Band Saw is a used horizontal band saw — sometimes referred to as a horizontal bandsaw or metal-cutting band saw — a type of machine designed to cut solid bar, tube, and structural profiles by drawing a continuous looped blade under controlled feed through the workpiece. Kasto is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing sawing and storage systems for metalworking industries, supplying band saws, circular saws, and automated sawing centres to engineering, steel distribution, and manufacturing operations worldwide.

This machine is configured for fully automatic operation, meaning it can complete a cutting cycle — clamping, feeding, and sawing — without constant operator intervention, making it well suited to production environments with repetitive or high-volume cutting requirements.

The cutting capacity is substantial: a depth of throat of 550 mm and a maximum workpiece height of 550 mm define the envelope of material the machine can accept. The workpiece table travel is hydraulic, providing a powered feed stroke of 500 mm, which replaces manual effort with consistent, controlled movement through the cut.

Blade speed is variable across a range of 17 to 125 metres per minute, allowing the operator to select the appropriate cutting speed for different materials and cross-sections — slower speeds suit harder alloys and larger sections, while higher speeds are appropriate for softer materials and smaller profiles. The band saw blade itself measures 7,239 × 54 × 1.3 mm, dimensions that indicate a long, wide blade suited to the machine's substantial cutting capacity. The machine requires a power supply of 10.5 kW to drive the saw and its hydraulic systems. This unit is located in Belgium and is available in used condition.
